Modern AU where teenagers!WWX and LWJ meet for the first time in the hospital both warded for broken limbs (LQR could have paid for the A++ ward but LXC insisted LWJ be warded w/ another for company)
WWX broke his arms; LWJ broke his legs; together they help-
-each other out.
At the start of his hospitalisation, LWJ was disturbed by WWX's presence - he was so loud all the time and so positive; all the nurses loved him because he had such a smart mouth.
LWJ couldn't wait to be discharged because he missed the quiet.
At the start of his hospitalisation, LWJ was disturbed by WWX's presence - he was so loud all the time and so positive; all the nurses loved him because he had such a smart mouth.
LWJ couldn't wait to be discharged because he missed the quiet.
Over time, LWJ learned to enjoy WWX's presence.
WWX was never daunted by his broken arms but he was massively impatient about his recovery - the arms were in a cast so he could not use them freely.
One day, WWX claimed that he was 'starving to death' and could not wait for-
WWX was never daunted by his broken arms but he was massively impatient about his recovery - the arms were in a cast so he could not use them freely.
One day, WWX claimed that he was 'starving to death' and could not wait for-
-a nurse to come and feed him for lunch. WWX's siblings usually came after school in the evenings to visit him so no one was around.
WWX decided he couldn't wait anymore and walked over to the bed across.
WWX decided he couldn't wait anymore and walked over to the bed across.
LWJ always had the privacy screens drawn because he wanted to be left undisturbed.
"Hi, Lan Zhan, right? Are you awake?"
On the other side, LWJ was in panic mode. WWX had never spoken directly to him before.
"Hi, Lan Zhan, right? Are you awake?"
On the other side, LWJ was in panic mode. WWX had never spoken directly to him before.
The last five days they've been together - WWX had been chatting up a storm about anything and everything with the nurses or squabbling with his brother. LXC had spoken to him a few times when visiting LWJ.
But WWX had never approached LWJ.
But WWX had never approached LWJ.
When LWJ doesn't respond, WWX gently kicks the screens open.
As expected, LWJ is shocked silly - he never expected WWX to just pull the screens without checking first - LQR would break LWJ's arms if he ever did such a thing.
"Oh, hi! I waited for you to answer but uh...."

"Oh, hi! I waited for you to answer but uh...."
At least WWX had the decency to look ashamed.
Except, the next words that followed were:
"I did not expect you to look like that."
Like what? LWJ thinks to himself. He hasn't got a mirror to tidy himself nor can he get himself to the bathroom on his own but surely he couldn't-

Like what? LWJ thinks to himself. He hasn't got a mirror to tidy himself nor can he get himself to the bathroom on his own but surely he couldn't-
-be unkempt.
"Your brother looks great but you are ridiculously beautiful, even in a hospital gown?!" WWX blurts.
LWJ now realising the little flush on WWX's cheek was a blush and not from embarrassment, turns away and simply mutters, "Shameless."

LWJ now realising the little flush on WWX's cheek was a blush and not from embarrassment, turns away and simply mutters, "Shameless."
Yet, LWJ knows that he is also shameless because he too, thinks that WWX looks beautiful, except he won't ever say it (he won't now, but later he will regret he didn't).
Instead, LWJ says, "Do you need help with something?"
WWX plops himself on LWJ's bed, causing LWJ to stare

So WWX sheepishly repositions himself against the bedframe instead.
"I'm really hungry but the nurses are all busy and I don't want to trouble them."
LWJ knows where this is going.
"As you can see, I've broken both my arms so I can't do anything!" WWX does a little shuffle of-

LWJ knows where this is going.
"As you can see, I've broken both my arms so I can't do anything!" WWX does a little shuffle of-
-his shoulders to demonstrate his lifeless arms in the casts.
LWJ continues to stare in disbelief.
"So! I was wondering if you have any food? A fruit or whatever just till the nurses can come help me with my lunch?" WWX asks with a bright grin.
How can LWJ say no to him?

There's a pause that follows WWX's request and then LWJ pulls out an apple from the fruit bowl next to his bed and starts peeling it with a knife.
WWX's grin gets wider, if that's even possible, and he uses his legs to nudge a visitor chair forward so that he can sit closer.

"Thanks, Lan Zhan! Oh and uh, you probably know but I am Wei Ying!"
LWJ doesn't respond save the incline of his head. Inside, his mind is spinning: if he has to cut the fruit for WWX, does this mean he will have to feed Wei Ying?
"So cute, you've cut them like bunnies!"

"So cute, you've cut them like bunnies!"
LWJ hadn't realised that he had cut the apple the way his mother used to for him because she knew he loved them like that.
He holds the plate out to WWX but WWX looks at him expectantly.
It's not like he can force WWX to eat it himself, his arms ARE broken after all.

"You want me to use my mouth?" WWX asks.
"No, of course not." (LWJ would learn many years later that the answer to that question in a very different context would have been a yes.)
"You're too far, come closer."
"No, of course not." (LWJ would learn many years later that the answer to that question in a very different context would have been a yes.)
"You're too far, come closer."
If he fed WWX like that, most of the apples would end up on the floor.
WWX scoots the chair closer - perhaps too close this time - and LWJ hesitantly feeds an apple slice to WWX.
LWJ realises that WWX is only quiet because he is eating and although it's only been a minute-

LWJ realises that WWX is only quiet because he is eating and although it's only been a minute-
or two, he misses WWX's chatter.
When WWX demolishes the apple slices, he resumes chatting. He reaches for the book that LWJ had put down when WWX kicked open the screens.
"Ah! I've read that before, do you like this author?"

"Ah! I've read that before, do you like this author?"
LWJ soon learns that they share many interests in literature and that he enjoys conversing with WWX (although WWX carries most of the conversation).
They've talked for half an hour and lunch had been forgotten until a nurse walked in and called out "WWX, are you here?"

"Ah! Mianmian, I'm here!" WWX gets up so quickly it makes LWJ feel a little sad.
"Mianmian, I was right! Isn't Lan Zhan so good looking?" He runs up to her and points at LWJ.
LWJ's face flames and he looks away, muttering a muted "shameless" once again.

"Yes, yes, you are right. Let me get you both your lunches." She motions for WWX to go back to his bed.
She brings LWJ his tray first and before she leaves, she asks "do you want the privacy screen on?"
LWJ shakes his head which earns a cheer from WWX, "We'll continue later!"

>> tbc, i had to get this out of my head because this was driving me crazy at work!!!
Later on, LWJ regrets not getting Nurse Luo to pull the screens back because watching her feed WWX with WWX acting so coy is making him lose his appetite.
He remains in a slightly sour mood even as WWX bounds back up to his side, continuing their conversation on books.

"Do you want another apple?"
WWX is taken aback, "I just had lunch, Lan Zhan! Maybe later?"
LWJ nods, at least he's made his intentions clear that he is completely OK with feeding WWX again so WWX can ask him again.
"Anyway Lan Zhan, it's a shame my arms are broken because-

LWJ nods, at least he's made his intentions clear that he is completely OK with feeding WWX again so WWX can ask him again.
"Anyway Lan Zhan, it's a shame my arms are broken because-
it means I can't read! Can't even flip the pages or hold up a book, it's terrible!" WWX whines by LWJ's side.
LWJ thinks for a moment and then, "I can read to you."
LWJ has the pleasure of watching WWX's eyes light up.
"You mean it, Lan Zhan?!"

LWJ has the pleasure of watching WWX's eyes light up.
"You mean it, Lan Zhan?!"
There is so much delight dancing in WWX's eyes, LWJ leaves his sour mood from before behind.
"Yes, I can get my brother to bring other kinds of books too."
"You'll read me anything?" WWX asks again.
"Yes, I can get my brother to bring other kinds of books too."
"You'll read me anything?" WWX asks again.
LWJ should have caught on but he doesn't because he's so distracted by WWX's eyes.
"Mn."
WWX's eyes hold a mischievous glint, he starts to lean in which makes LWJ extremely nervous,
"Even erotic texts?"

It takes LWJ a second to process what WWX is saying because no one really uses that word in front of him or even in his family.
LWJ's face flames again and he looks away, unsure of how to respond.
"Ah Lan Zhan, don't turn away! I was just teasing you!" WWX gets up from the-
LWJ's face flames again and he looks away, unsure of how to respond.
"Ah Lan Zhan, don't turn away! I was just teasing you!" WWX gets up from the-
-chair and sits next to LWJ on the bed now (too close!) and WWX nudges him with his shoulder.
LWJ's cheeks redden even more at the contact.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Wow, you really can't take jokes like that, huh?"
LWJ finally turns to him, "Wei Ying, I was being sincere."

LWJ finally turns to him, "Wei Ying, I was being sincere."
"I know, I was just teasing." WWX nudges LWJ again before getting back to the chair - LWJ's heart twists at the loss of contact.
"Ah, Lan Zhan, did you know when you blush, it starts from your ears? I think it is very cute." WWX remarks and his eyes tell LWJ that he means it.

Except, the comment causes LWJ's ears to redden again as well which ends up in WWX bursting into laughter.
LXC, of course, takes this moment to stroll in. He had wondered what the commotion was from the corridor and he had hoped it wasn't disturbing his brother's rest.

When he realises that WWX is by his brother's bed making all that commotion, LXC breaks out into a grin.
LWJ doesn't even need to look at his brother to know that LXC has that knowing smile plastered on his stupid face.

"Wangji, I see that you have made friends." LXC almost exclaims in delight.
LWJ can't bear to look at him but he has to out of respect, "Xiong-zhang."
WWX gets up to greet LXC, "Hi Xichen-ge!"
LWJ can't bear to look at him but he has to out of respect, "Xiong-zhang."
WWX gets up to greet LXC, "Hi Xichen-ge!"
LXC obviously tells anyone younger to call him that but WWX calling LXC 'ge' is doing things to LWJ that he is unable to explain.
(Like he wants WWX to call his brother that properly in the future)
"Hi, how are you doing Wuxian? LXC greets him back.

"Hi, how are you doing Wuxian? LXC greets him back.
"Getting there! Your brother has been really kind - he cut apples for me and he said he'll read to me cause I can't lift a book!"
Dread starts to fill LWJ because of how amused LXC looks - like LXC has found his deep dark secret without even trying!

"Wangji is very good at taking care of people. I'm glad he's treating you well." LXC replies as he makes his way to LWJ's side table to fill it with things he has brought.
"He is! He even said he'll read anything to me." WWX turns to LWJ this time and gives him a wink.
"He is! He even said he'll read anything to me." WWX turns to LWJ this time and gives him a wink.
LWJ has to fight to keep the blush down because he is already embarrassed beyond belief. Thankfully, LXC is still stocking up his table.
"WWX, it's time for your x-rays!" A nurse calls out from the front of the room.
"WWX, it's time for your x-rays!" A nurse calls out from the front of the room.
"Ahh, already? Well, I'll see you later, Lan Zhan! Bye, Xichen-ge!" WWX singsongs as he heads out with the nurse.
Both brothers nod in acknowledgment before returning their attention to each other.
LXC, of course, breaks the silence with, "So, Wei Wuxian, huh?"
